So I switched to bar end shifting on the Atala. I went with the Rivendell bar end shift pods. These worked out great for my old campy shifters. They’re made to work with a good bit of the old standard down tube shifters. I love the look of shifters on the downtube, but the convenience of bar end shifting is pretty nice.

So we got in a few of the Cardiff bags in shop. They’re pretty nice. They’ve got a nice waxed finish on the canvas, and the leather is nice and soft as well. They’re nice little bags for a reasonable price.

So here’s a nice little Peugeot that we fixed up. We re-ran new cable/housing, added a new Brooks, new tires/tubes, new pedals, bars/levers, and did some light polishing. It turned out nice. It’s a fun little bike-$399.

Here’s a cute little Motobecane mixte that we re-did. We were planning on having it for sale in the shop, but it never made it out of the workstand before it was sold. I really like the 27″ semi-knobby tires on this thing.

Next up are a few pics of a bike we helped build, that’s making it’s way across the US.

This is Geries’ Pake C’Mute. I really like this story because we got him all the parts and everything through Woodward Cyclery, then we all went back to SOPO and and built it up together. He really wanted to ride a bike he built himself on his trip, and that’s what he did.
He has a sent us a few pics of him and the bike during his travels and hopefully he’ll send us some more along the way.

That’s the kind of story I’m real stoked to have happen, with SOPO and Woodward Cyclery sharing a space.
